Wendell Berry was almost 30 when he packed up his life as a New York intellectual and moved to Port Royal, a tiny community in Kentucky where generations of his forebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thought he was mad. But he felt it was his inner calling to record the history of the place.
Since moving to Port Royal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and ploughing his fields with horses. His eight novels and more than 50 short stories are usually set in Port William, a stand-in (代替物) for Port Royal. Nick Offerman, an actor, wanted to adapt his work for the screen. However, the actor was refused.
In Mr Berry’s opinion, humans must take care of the earth that grants them life. “The soil is the greatest connector of lives,” he has written. “Without proper care for it we can have no community.” This philosophy dominates his writings. In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature.
Mr Berry’s fiction explores the decline of values by following Port William’s interconnected clans (家族) as they enter the modern age. In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding “the wealth of an intimate history” in belonging to “his ancestral place”. In Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm.
These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable.
24. Why did Mr Berry’s friends think he was mad
A. He moved to live in the countryside. B. He turned down Offerman’s request.
C. He wrote most of his novels by hand. D. He gave up his career as an intellectual.
25. What do Mr Berry’s writings often imply
A. The challenges of farming in old days.
B. The harmony between man and nature.
C. The real benefits of large agribusinesses.
D. The hard lives of his forebears in Kentucky.
26. What do Andy Catlett and Hannah Coulter have in common
A. They are from the same novel. B. They both choose to live alone.
C. They are victims of country life. D. They both find their values again.
27. What would be the best title for the text
A. Wendell Berry: a rural writer living a modern life
B. Wendell Berry: a strong voice for modern farming
C. Discover why Wendell Berry’s rural tales shine
D. Find out how Wendell Berry adapts to new environments
C
Years ago, I bought a blouse. That same day, I considered putting it on, but for no particular reason I decided not to. That weekend, I again considered wearing the blouse, but the occasion didn’t seem special enough, so again, I passed it up. Fast forward to today, I have never worn that blouse.
What happened here Why do people own so many unused possessions, treating them as though they are too special to use To find out, I ran an experiment in which participants imagined buying a bottle of wine. We had half of the participants imagine considering opening it one night, but deciding not to. Then when we measured how special the wine seemed and participants’ intentions to open it later, we found that those who had imagined holding off on opening it were in fact less likely to intend to open it later. When asked the reason, most assumed they were waiting for a future occasion to open it — a more special occasion.
Why do people fall into this mental trap Prior research points to two main reasons.
First, when options are presented one at a time, rather than all at once, it can be difficult to know when to make a decision. So people often end up “holding out” for an idealized future occasion. Second, regardless of the actual reasons behind their feelings and actions, people often come up with their own explanations after the fact.
Putting these together is a recipe for what psychologists term “specialness spirals”. When you give up using something — for whatever reason — if you believe that you are waiting to use it, the possession will start to feel more special. And as you search for the right occasion day after day, it becomes more tempting to hold out for a future occasion. The less you use it, though, the more special it feels, and the cycle continues. Ultimately, the likelihood of using the possession becomes rarer and rarer. The more this happens, the more stuff you have lying around.
How can you fight specialness spirals Try committing in advance to using an item on a specific occasion. When buying a dress, tell yourself you’ll wear it this weekend. Or when purchasing a candle, plan to light it that day. This strategy encourages you to actually enjoy your possessions.
28. What were the participants asked to imagine doing in the experiment
A. Putting off drinking the wine.
B. Evaluating the quality of the wine.
C. Listing reasons for drinking the wine.
D. Discussing how they would deal with the wine.
29. What does the underlined word “tempting” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Particular. B. Ordinary. C. Inviting. D. Unappealing.
30. What can we learn about specialness spirals
A. They can mislead people into shopping traps.
B. They can lead to a collection of unused stuff.
C. They result from an optimistic attitude to the future.
D. They help explain the psychology of delayed rewards.
31. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To explain a psychological phenomenon.
B. To criticize a wrong consumption concept.
C. To remind people to enjoy their possessions.
D. To encourage people to prepare for a rainy day.
D
Chinese researchers have taken a bite-sized step toward the future of food with the development of “chicken rice” and “pork rice” — innovative dishes combining cell-cultured meat and staple grains.
The breakthrough, led by the China Meat Food Comprehensive Research Center and the Beijing Academy of Food Sciences, involves cultivating chicken and pork cells directly on rice and other crops.
“These dishes appear just like regular rice varieties — white, brown or purple,” explained Wang Shouwei, the chief scientist behind the project. “But after cooking, they take on the aroma of both rice and meat.”
Beyond taste, the technology offers exciting nutritional possibilities. “We can precisely control the content of protein, amino acids, fiber, carbs and other nutrients,” Wang said. “This allows us to tailor these foods to specific dietary needs.”
The key innovation lies in using rice as a “microcarrier scaffold”. Traditionally, cell-cultured meat production relies on expensive, synthetic carriers.
“These carriers often raise food safety concerns and inflate production costs,” Wang said. “Rice, on the other hand, provides a natural, edible alternative, rich in fiber and other beneficial nutrients.”
The process involves pre-treating rice varieties to create a suitable environment for cell growth. For instance, “pork rice” is produced by cultivating separate batches of pork muscle and fat cells on modified rice grains. These are then combined to create the final product.
Professor Zhou Jingwen, from Jiangnan University, sees the development as a significant leap forward.
“Chicken rice and pork rice represent a new frontier in cell-cultured meat research, and China is poised to be a leader in this field,” he said.
The research team is optimistic about achieving mass production in the near future.
Fitness coach Yao Xiangwei is intrigued by the potential. “High protein, high fiber and healthy carbs — that sounds perfect for people like me,” he said. “Price will be a factor, but I'd definitely try it.”
However, Yao acknowledges the need for public acceptance. “As a new concept, people will likely be curious but cautious,” he said. “It might take some time for these ‘cultivated’ dishes to become mainstream.”
32. What is the main focus of the Chinese researchers’ recent development in the food industry
A. Creating a new type of rice grain.
B. Developing cell-cultured meat dishes combined with rice.
C. Enhancing traditional Chinese dishes with modern technology.
D. Cultivating synthetic carriers for cell-cultured meat.
33. How does using rice as a “microcarrier scaffold” benefit the production of cell-cultured meat
A. It significantly reduces the nutritional value of the meat.
B. It offers a natural, edible alternative to synthetic carriers.
C. It complicates the process of cell growth on the rice.
D. It increases the production costs due to the special treatment required.
34. According to Professor Zhou Jingwen, what does the development of “chicken rice” and “pork rice” signify for China in the field of cell-cultured meat research
A. It indicates a decline in traditional meat consumption.
B. It marks China’s position as a leader in this emerging field.
C. It suggests that China will import more meat from abroad.
D. It shows that China is lagging behind in food technology advancements.
35. What concern does fitness coach Yao Xiangwei mention regarding the potential success of cell-cultured meat dishes
A. The dishes may not contain enough protein for athletes.
B. The public may be hesitant to accept these new food concepts.
C. The production process is too complex to be replicated widely.
D. The price of the dishes will be too low to attract high-end consumers.

These areas in the adolescent brains don’t stop 48 mom. It’s just that unfamiliar voices become more rewarding and worthy of attention. “As kids 49 , their survival depends less and less on maternal (母亲的) support. 50 , they rely more and more on their 51 —friends and others closer to their own age. So the brains need to begin paying more attention to that wider world. The brain seems to 52 new needs that come with adolescence.”

【24 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Wendell Berry was almost 30 when he packed up his life as a New York intellectual and moved to Port Royal, a tiny community in Kentucky where generations of his forebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thought he was mad.(Wendell Berry 快 30岁时结束了他在纽约的作家生涯，搬到了肯塔基州的一个小社区——罗亚尔港，他的祖先几代人都在这里耕种。他的朋友们都认为他疯了)”可知，Berry 先生的朋友们认为他疯了因为他搬到农村去住了。故选 A 项。

He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature.(在 1977 年出版的《美国的不安》一书中，Berry 批评了大型农业综合企业造成的自然破坏。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离，使人与自然分离)”可知，Berry 先生的作品通常暗示了人与自然的和谐。故选 B。
【26 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding ‘the wealth of an intimate history’ in belonging to ‘his ancestral place’. In Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm.(在短篇小说《肢解》中，安迪·卡特利特被收割机夺去了一只手，成为了一个孤独的人。他发现自己的撤退是错误的，并重新与小镇联系起来，发现‘祖籍的家族历史财富’。在 Berry 先生的第七部小说《汉娜·库尔特》中，主人公汉娜·库尔特在经历了一段悲伤的生活后变老，并预料到当她的孩子们去城市找工作时，她会感到孤独。相反，当她的孙子回来经营农场时，她的希望又恢复了)”可知，卡特利特和库尔特的共同点在于两者都重新找到了自己的价值。故选 D 项。
【27 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable.(这些故事为生活在生态灾难中的读者提供了深刻的建议。虽然很少有人能回到农耕的基础，但 Berry 先生所传达的建立社区、做一个好邻居以及抵制现代生活邀请的信息仍然很有价值。)”以及上文内容可知，文章主要讲述了 Wendell Berry 搬到农村去住，他觉得记录这个地方的历史是他内心的召唤。在此期间他创作了许多作品，在 Berry 先生看来，人类必须爱护赋予他们生命的地球。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离，使人与自然分离。所以 C 选项 Discover why Wendell Berry’s rural tales shine(探索 Wendell Berry 的乡村故事为何大放异彩)最符合文章标题。故选 C 项。
C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过作者自身经历引入并解释一种心理现象——为什么人们会拥有许多未使用过的物品，并将它们视为过于特别而不愿使用，即“特殊螺旋”效应，并提出对抗这一现象的策略。
【28 题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“To find out, I ran an experiment in which participants imagined buying a bottle of wine. We had half of the participants imagine considering opening it one night, but deciding not to. Then when we measured how special the wine seemed and participants’ intentions to open it later, we found that those who had imagined holding off on opening it were in fact less likely to intend to open it later.(为了找出答案，我做了一个实验，让参与者想象自己买了一瓶葡萄酒。我们让一半的参与者想象有一天晚上考虑打开它，但最终决定不打开。然后，当我们测量葡萄酒的特殊程度，以及参与者稍后打开它的意愿时，我们发现，那些想象过要推迟打开它的人，实际上不太可能打算稍后打开它。)”可知，在实验中，参与者被要求想象购买了一瓶酒并将推迟喝那瓶酒。故选 A 项。
【29 题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第五段“And as you search for the right occasion day after day, it becomes more tempting to hold out for a future occasion. The less you use it, though, the more special it feels, and the cycle continues. Ultimately, the likelihood of using the possession becomes rarer and rarer. The more this happens, the more stuff you have lying around.(当你日复一日地寻找合适的场合时，为未来的场合坚持下去变得更加 。然而，你使用它的次数越少，它的感觉就越特别，循环也在继续。最终，使用该东西的可能性越来越小。这种情况发生得越多，你周围的东西就越多。)”可知，最终人们会因为这东西特别而不会使用它，由此推知这里表示“为未来的场合坚持下去决定变得更加有吸引力”，所以猜测 tempting 表“诱人的;吸引人的”意思，与 C 项 Inviting(吸引人的)意思相近。故选 C 项。
【30 题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段中“Putting these together is a recipe for what psychologists term “specialness spirals”. When you give up using something－for whatever reason－if you believe that you are waiting to use it, the possession will start to feel more special. And as you search for the right occasion day after day, it becomes more tempting to hold out for a future occasion. The less you use it, though, the more special it feels, and the cycle continues. Ultimately, the likelihood of using the possession becomes rarer and rarer. The more this happens, the more stuff you have lying around.(把这些放在一起就是心理学家所说的“特殊螺旋”的秘诀。当你放弃使用某物时——无论出于什么原因——如果你相信你正在等待使用它，那么拥有它就会开始感觉更特别。当你日复一日地寻找合适的场合时，为未来的场合坚持下去变得更加诱人。然而，你使用它的次数越少，它的感觉就越特别，循环也在继续。最终，使用该东西的可能性越来越小。这种情况发生得越多，你周围的东西就越多。)”可知，“特殊螺旋”指的是人们因期待更特殊场合而不断推迟使用某物品的心理现象，这会导致物品越积越多却未被使用。故选 B 项。
【31 题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Years ago, I bought a blouse. That same day, I considered putting it on, but for no particular reason I decided not to. That weekend, I again considered wearing the blouse, but the occasion didn’t seem special enough, so again, I passed it up. Fast forward to today, I have never worn that blouse. (几年前，我买了一件衬衫。同一天，我考虑穿上它，但没有特别的原因，我决定不穿。那个周末，我再次考虑穿这件衬衫，但这个场合似乎不够特别，所以我再次拒绝了。快进到今天，我从来没有穿过那件衬衫。)”可知，文章的主要目的是通过作者自身经历引入并解释一种心理现象——为什么人们会拥有许多未使用过的物品，并将它们视为过于特别而不愿使用，即“特殊螺旋”效应，并提出对抗这一现象的策略。故选 A 项。
D

Should teens pursue study partners
The companion culture trend is gaining notice as people opt for short-term
partnerships to fulfill immediate needs for cooperation, knowledge exchange, and
shared experiences.
I am in favor of teens’ pursuing study partners, because these partnerships can
help develop essential skills like resilience and teamwork, which are crucial not only
for study but also for life in general.
Although having study partners can encourage lively idea exchange and
collaborative learning, it’s essential to be careful and avoid distractions. It’s important
for teens to find study partners that match their learning style, creating a relationship
that benefits both.

细节理解题。根据第三部分的句子“The PS VR2 headset will detect your eye movements,
allowing you to interact with other players online in a new and realistic way, resulting in increased
emotional responses and expressive sensitivity.(PS VR2 头显将检测你的眼球运动，让你以一
种新的和现实的方式与其他玩家在线互动，从而增加情绪反应和表达灵敏度。)”可知，PS
VR2 可以检测在线互动的眼球运动。故 C 项正确。根据第一段的句子“A unique dualchip
design enables the spatial experiences on Apple Vision Pro.(独特的双芯片设计使 Apple Vision
Pro 的空间体验成为可能。)”可知，A项中的“唯一一款采用双芯片设计”描述不准确。根据
第 二 部 分 的句 子 “Meta Quest 3 is the most powerful Quest device yet. Powered by the
Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 Platform, the Quest 3 features more than twice the graphics processing
performance, breakthrough mixed reality features, and a thinner more balanced fit that will expand

3
{#{QQABaQAQggCIQIBAAAhCQwWqCAOQkBGACYgORAAEsAABCBFABAA=}#}
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Wendell Berry was almost 30 when he packed up his life as a New
York intellectual and moved to Port Royal, a tiny community in Kentucky where generations of
his forebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thought he was mad.(Wendell Berry 快 30
岁时结束了他在纽约的作家生涯，搬到了肯塔基州的一个小社区——罗亚尔港，他的祖先
几代人都在这里耕种。他的朋友们都认为他疯了)”可知，Berry 先生的朋友们认为他疯了因
为他搬到农村去住了。故选 A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized
the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming
from culture and disconnected people from nature.(在 1977年出版的《美国的不安》一书中，
Berry批评了大型农业综合企业造成的自然破坏。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离，使人
与自然分离)”可知，Berry先生的作品通常暗示了人与自然的和谐。故选 B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a
harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with
the town, finding ‘the wealth of an intimate history’ in belonging to ‘his ancestral place’. In
Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a
sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead her
hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm.(在短篇小说《肢解》中，安迪·卡特
利特被收割机夺去了一只手，成为了一个孤独的人。他发现自己的撤退是错误的，并重新
与小镇联系起来，发现‘祖籍的家族历史财富’。在 Berry 先生的第七部小说《汉娜·库尔特》
中，主人公汉娜·库尔特在经历了一段悲伤的生活后变老，并预料到当她的孩子们去城市找
工作时，她会感到孤独。相反，当她的孙子回来经营农场时，她的希望又恢复了)”可知，
卡特利特和库尔特的共同点在于两者都重新找到了自己的价值。故选 D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through
ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building
communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still
valuable.(这些故事为生活在生态灾难中的读者提供了深刻的建议。虽然很少有人能回到农
耕的基础，但 Berry 先生所传达的建立社区、做一个好邻居以及抵制现代生活邀请的信息
仍然很有价值。)”以及上文内容可知，文章主要讲述了 Wendell Berry 搬到农村去住，他觉
得记录这个地方的历史是他内心的召唤。在此期间他创作了许多作品，在 Berry先生看来，
人类必须爱护赋予他们生命的地球。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离，使人与自然分离。
所以 C选项 Discover why Wendell Berry’s rural tales shine(探索Wendell Berry 的乡村故事为
何大放异彩)最符合文章标题。故选 C项。
C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过作者自身经历引入并解释一种心理现象——为什么人
们会拥有许多未使用过的物品，并将它们视为过于特别而不愿使用，即“特殊螺旋”效应，
并提出对抗这一现象的策略。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“To find out, I ran an experiment in which participants imagined
buying a bottle of wine. We had half of the participants imagine considering opening it one night,
but deciding not to. Then when we measured how special the wine seemed and participants’
4
{#{QQABaQAQggCIQIBAAAhCQwWqCAOQkBGACYgORAAEsAABCBFABAA=}#}
intentions to open it later, we found that those who had imagined holding off on opening it were in
fact less likely to intend to open it later.(为了找出答案，我做了一个实验，让参与者想象自己
买了一瓶葡萄酒。我们让一半的参与者想象有一天晚上考虑打开它，但最终决定不打开。
然后，当我们测量葡萄酒的特殊程度，以及参与者稍后打开它的意愿时，我们发现，那些
想象过要推迟打开它的人，实际上不太可能打算稍后打开它。)”可知，在实验中，参与者
被要求想象购买了一瓶酒并将推迟喝那瓶酒。故选 A项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第五段“And as you search for the right occasion day after day, it becomes
more tempting to hold out for a future occasion. The less you use it, though, the more special it
feels, and the cycle continues. Ultimately, the likelihood of using the possession becomes rarer
and rarer. The more this happens, the more stuff you have lying around.(当你日复一日地寻找合
适的场合时，为未来的场合坚持下去变得更加 。然而，你使用它的次数越少，
它的感觉就越特别，循环也在继续。最终，使用该东西的可能性越来越小。这种情况发生
得越多，你周围的东西就越多。)”可知，最终人们会因为这东西特别而不会使用它，由此
推知这里表示“为未来的场合坚持下去决定变得更加有吸引力”，所以猜测 tempting表“诱人
的;吸引人的”意思，与 C项 Inviting(吸引人的)意思相近。故选 C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段中“Putting these together is a recipe for what psychologists term
“specialness spirals”. When you give up using something－for whatever reason－if you believe
that you are waiting to use it, the possession will start to feel more special. And as you search for
the right occasion day after day, it becomes more tempting to hold out for a future occasion. The
less you use it, though, the more special it feels, and the cycle continues. Ultimately, the
likelihood of using the possession becomes rarer and rarer. The more this happens, the more stuff
you have lying around.(把这些放在一起就是心理学家所说的“特殊螺旋”的秘诀。当你放弃使
用某物时——无论出于什么原因——如果你相信你正在等待使用它，那么拥有它就会开始
感觉更特别。当你日复一日地寻找合适的场合时，为未来的场合坚持下去变得更加诱人。
然而，你使用它的次数越少，它的感觉就越特别，循环也在继续。最终，使用该东西的可
能性越来越小。这种情况发生得越多，你周围的东西就越多。)”可知，“特殊螺旋”指的是
人们因期待更特殊场合而不断推迟使用某物品的心理现象，这会导致物品越积越多却未被
使用。故选 B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Years ago, I bought a blouse. That same day, I
considered putting it on, but for no particular reason I decided not to. That weekend, I again
considered wearing the blouse, but the occasion didn’t seem special enough, so again, I passed it
up. Fast forward to today, I have never worn that blouse. (几年前，我买了一件衬衫。同一天，
我考虑穿上它，但没有特别的原因，我决定不穿。那个周末，我再次考虑穿这件衬衫，但
这个场合似乎不够特别，所以我再次拒绝了。快进到今天，我从来没有穿过那件衬衫。)”
可知，文章的主要目的是通过作者自身经历引入并解释一种心理现象——为什么人们会拥
有许多未使用过的物品，并将它们视为过于特别而不愿使用，即“特殊螺旋”效应，并提出
对抗这一现象的策略。故选 A项。
D

meat research, and China is poised to be a leader in this field,” he said. (他说：“鸡肉饭和猪肉饭
代表了细胞培养肉研究的一个新前沿，中国有望成为这一领域的领导者。”)”可知，周静文
教授认为，“鸡肉饭”和“猪肉饭”的发展标志着中国在这一新兴领域的领先地位。故选 B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, Yao acknowledges the need for public acceptance. “As a
new concept, people will likely be curious but cautious,”(然而，姚承认公众接受的必要性。他
说：“作为一个新概念，人们可能会好奇但谨慎。”)”可知，对于细胞培养肉制品的潜在成
功，健身教练姚向伟认为公众可能对接受这些新的食品概念犹豫不决。故选 B。

其是在压力大的时候。故选 B项。
54．考查动词词义辨析。句意：研究还表明，当压力过大的女孩在电话里听到妈妈的
声音时，她们的应激激素水平会下降。根据前文“Mothers’ voices still have special power,

10-12. M: There you are. I’m getting worried.
W: Why didn’t you just call me
M: I tried, but I couldn’t get through.
W: Oh, it’s powered off. Sorry, Dad. I ran into Mary and I went to hers and talked
with her for a while there. She told me a story.
M: What did she tell you
W: Well, she was driving home tonight, and she suddenly saw someone on his
hands and knees in the middle of the road. She stopped the car and wanted to ask
if there was anything she could do. But do you know what happened
M: What happened
W: The person suddenly jumped away and disappeared.
M: Wow. That person was really awesome. Did he know Chinese kung fu
W: Well, Mary later realized it wasn’t a person. It was a deer. She couldn’t help
laughing after she realized that.
13-16.W: Hi, I’m Lily. You’re Owen, right
M: Yes.

W: I heard something about you from my new friend Fanny 3 days ago. She said
you’re handsome and have a good sense of humor.
M: Really I’m really shy and a little nervous when I’m talking to a stranger.
W: So are you nervous now
M: Yes, a little bit. I haven’t seen you before. Do you live here
W: Yes. But I moved here just about two months ago. So I don’t really know many
people here.
M: I’m sure you’ll make many friends here soon. You’re friendly, outgoing and
beautiful.
W: Thanks.
M: By the way, have you heard about the robbery that took place last night
W: No. Who got robbed
M: The Smiths. Luckily! they didn’t lose any valuable things but 500 dollars in cash.
Anyway, such things hardly happen here. So don’t worry.
